When using electric appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the
following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not operate toaster while unattended.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
4. Do not attempt to dislodge food when toaster is plugged in.
5. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or toaster in water or other
liquid.
6. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or
taking off parts, or moving toaster.
7. Do not operate toaster with a damaged cord or plug or after toaster malfunctions or has
been damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information
on examination, repair or adjustment.
8. Oversized foods, metal foil packages, or utensils must not be inserted in a toaster as they
may involve a risk of fire or electric shock.
9. Do not clean with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off pad and touch electrical parts
resulting in risk of electrical shock.
10. A fire may occur if toaster is covered or touching flammable material, including curtains,
draperies, walls, overhead cabinets, paper or plastic products, cloth towels, and the like,
when in operation.
Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical shock.
The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

To avoid a circuit overload, do not operate another high wattage appliance on the same circuit.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tan-
gled in, or tripping over, a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may
be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the
toaster. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the coun-
tertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

1. Plug toaster into electrical outlet.
2. Place bread in slots. Select toast shade and press down bread lifter.
3. At the end of the toasting cycle, the bread will pop up automatically. Lift up on bread
lifter to reach small bread.
NOTE: The bread lifter will not latch down unless toaster is plugged in.
4. To stop the toasting cycle sooner, lift up bread lifter or push the cancel button.
HOW TO TOAST
• Toasting is affected by the temperature of the bread. Room temperature bread may
toast to a medium color on the medium setting. The same type of bread that has
been refrigerated may require a darker setting to reach a medium color.
The moisture content will also affect toasting. Fresh bagels, made locally, will have a higher
moisture content than bagels purchased in the bread section of the supermarket. The bagel
setting only energizes the outside wall heating elements. A second, shorter toasting cycle
may be needed to reach desired browness. Fresh bagels made locally may require two
toasting cycles.
• Because of the irregular surface of English muffins, they may require more than one
toasting cycle. After toasting for one cycle on the darkest setting, if a darker shade is
desired, adjust shade selector to a lighter setting and toast for a second cycle. Watch
closely to avoid overbrowning. English muffins cut with a knife toast more evenly than
English muffins split with a fork.
• Many toasters have thermostats that must reset after toasting one cycle. The electron-
ic controls of this toaster allow toasting batch after batch, with no waiting for the
thermostat to reset.
To remove food that becomes lodged in food slots, disconnect from outlet and allow
toaster to cool. Turn toaster upside down and shake. Do not use fork or other utensil that
could damage heating element or result in risk of fire or electrical shock.
• When toasting a single slice, you may notice variations in bread color from side to
side.
TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING
CLEANING YOUR TOASTER
NOTE: If the toaster is used daily, the crumb tray should be cleaned weekly.
1. Unplug toaster and let cool.
2. Slide open crumb tray, discard crumbs, and wipe tray with clean cloth. Replace
crumb tray.
3. Wipe outside of toaster with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleansers that may
scratch the surface of the toaster.
